After the baptism and tempering of the Nightmare Hydra, the Primordial Force weapon — the Super Divine Artifact known as the
[Ding! Primordial Force weapon — Seven Deadly Sins has been digitized and recorded into the Magical Artifact database!]
The Chip simultaneously transmitted the collected data into
Effects: 1.
Effects 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 not yet activated! (Require the corresponding Law powers!)
This Primordial Force weapon has been bound to the true soul of the Lord of Original Sin and cannot be used by any other existence!]
The fearsome weapon that Leylin had painstakingly crafted over the span of several centuries was finally beginning to reveal its incomparably brutal true face to the world.
"Heh… Not bad at all! I like it!"
Leylin's hands closed around the hilt of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Primordial Force weapon, custom-forged for him, rumbled in response as the blade and body of the decapitation sword manifested before his eyes.
"This is… power that transcends the level of divine artifacts…"
The other Lords of Hell were shaken by the radiance, crying out in terrified alarm.
"Yes — your blood will forge the Seven Deadly Sins into its greatest power!"
Leylin's eyes held an icy indifference as he instantly appeared before Samael, the Lord of the Fourth Layer of Hell — the Lord of
"What have you done… What kind of mess have you turned my domain into?!"
Samael roared without cease, and with each surge of fury his power climbed ever higher. Phlegethos, the Hell of Fire, rumbled and bellowed as an enormous mass of Hell's Primordial Force converged upon Samael.
"Even if you are a Lord of Hell, commanding the Primordial Force of an entire layer — before the Seven Deadly Sins, you are doomed to fall."
Leylin advanced without a shred of fear, wielding the great decapitation sword.
Hummmm…
The Seven Deadly Sins roared, and behind them, the outlines of the Dream World and the Shadow World faintly emerged.
The roar of such powerful worlds, and the pressure of their phantoms, instantly shattered Flagoros' projection.
"Haha... My Seven Deadly Sins were forged using the primal force of two great worlds. How could a mere single layer of Hell possibly stand against two entire worlds!"
Amid his wild laughter, Leylin's greatsword swept aside the oncoming torrents of flame without hindrance. It then severed Samael's right hand, leaving a terrifying wound across its chest.
"Ahhh..."
Samael screamed in agony, not daring to clash with Leylin head-on again. It retreated backward with lightning speed.
In just a single strike, a rule-level Hell Lord was forced to retreat, heavily injured!
How could Leylin possibly let this opportunity slip?
"Come back here!" he roared. The Seven Deadly Sins shifted and transformed once more. The tip of the great decapitation sword extended into a slender iron chain fitted with a black hook-claw, snatching Samael back in an instant.
"Now, die! The Amplification of Greed!"
The Seven Deadly Sins in Leylin's hands continued their metamorphosis, changing from the great decapitation sword into a massive ox-horn hammer. Bolstered by the Amplification of Greed and the weight of two great worlds, it bore down directly upon Samael's head.
This attack, powerful enough to make worlds crumble, finally drew an expression of despair onto Samael's face.
"Save me..."
Having lost all its confidence and pride, it began crying out for aid from the other Hell Lords.
"Stop him! If the opponent gains Samael's power of Wrath, it will be even harder for us to contend with him..."
Everything had happened too quickly. In the blink of an eye, a Hell Lord had been forced to retreat by Leylin. Even
But immediately after, it reached a consensus with the other Hell Lords. They moved to encircle Leylin.
"Too bad... it's already too late!"
Leylin laughed heartily. A layer of primal force armor flowed down from the Seven Deadly Sins, coating his entire body.
Relying on the protection of the Seven Deadly Sins, as well as his own strength as an eighth-level
"Cry! Scream! All your resentment, all your fury, will become my power... Even Asmodeus cannot save you now..."
The King of the Nine-Layered Hell was indeed a devil of ancient standing, his strength far above that of the other Hell Lords. His burning hellflame palm shattered Leylin's defenses in an instant.
However, Leylin was still a step faster. Taking the hellfire's burn upon himself without hesitation, the ram-horned hammer of the Seven Deadly Sins still hammered down with resolute force.
Boom!
The entirety of Phlegethos seemed to freeze for a single instant. The other Hell Lords cried out in shock and fury, screaming and cursing.
For right before their eyes, one of their own Hell Lords had already fallen at Leylin's hand!
At that moment, Leylin paid them no heed at all. His attention was fixed on the Chip's prompt.
[Ding! Host has slain Samael! Seven Deadly Sins ability — Gluttony's Devour activated, forming a complementary effect with the Host's Devour ability! Host has obtained the opponent's law — Wrath (100%)!]
Hsss...
The Nightmare Hydra behind Leylin hissed continuously as another snake head solidified, absorbing the wrathful force of the entire astral plane, while its wounds rapidly healed.
[Ding! Wrath law obtained! Seven Deadly Sins unlocked effect 5: Wrath Amplification — By expending wrathful force, the Host can temporarily gain double stat enhancement!]
"Fighting devils really is the best. I can gain enhancements and abilities at any time just by killing them..."
Leylin was ecstatic inside, but his hands immediately activated the Seven Deadly Sins' effect: Wrath Amplification!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Asmodeus felt Leylin's power nearly double, carried by an overwhelming force of wrath that sent him and the other Hell Lords sliding backward.
"It's Samael — you've obtained Samael's power! This quickly!"
How could they possibly deal with an enemy who grew stronger the longer they fought?
"No! He's merely forcing himself to hold on! Even a greater deity couldn't have taken our attack without damage, let alone him..."
Asmodeus, the most cunning and devious of devils, saw through Leylin's bluff in an instant.
"If we all attack together, we should be able to eliminate him…"
"Yes…"
The battered armor on Leylin's body melted back onto the Seven Deadly Sins, making that supreme divine artifact appear even more massive and terrifying.
"I am indeed heavily wounded, but before I fall, how much will you have to pay?
Leylin's mocking gaze swept across Leviathan,
When facing life and death, even ordinary people would grow suspicious — let alone the Devil Lords.
What truly made Asmodeus want to vomit blood was that even now, Leylin still hadn't forgotten to sow discord among their existing fractures.
Asmodeus and Glasya were father and daughter, so those sacrificed would most likely be the other three Hell Lords — and they would absolutely not just sit and wait for death.
This suspicion was enough to deal a fatal blow to their unstable alliance.
Facing a powerful enemy while harboring such mutual distrust, they would likely sacrifice not just one or two — it was entirely possible Leylin could turn the tables!
"Damn it! We're retreating!"
Asmodeus could clearly see the distrust in its allies' eyes, and no matter how much groundwork it had laid before, nothing could help now.
With bitter reluctance, even though it was unwilling, it had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
The other Hell Lords also withdrew slowly, and especially after seeing Leylin's Chip avatars spreading the radiance of his divine kingdom into the fourth layer of Hell, Fuglesos, a look of humiliation gradually surfaced on their faces.
The Hell Lords had spent decades and sacrificed countless devils' lives in their assault on Leylin's divine kingdom, yet it had all ended in catastrophic defeat.
Not only had they failed to conquer a single layer of Leylin's divine kingdom — they had even lost the fourth layer of Hell in the process. This humiliation and anguish made every Hell Lord want to weep bitterly.
"Flee quickly! Once the enemy's divine kingdom engulfs this place, it will be too late!" one Hell Lord transmitted to the pit fiends under its command.
As the Hell Lord of the fourth layer, the Frost Devil Grand Duke Leviathan was clearly the most pained of all.
After Samael's fall, it was now the one who would have to face Leylin's threat directly.
And a Wizard was clearly far more terrifying — and far more difficult to deal with — than the previous God of Slaughter!
"The other lords can leave, but you must stay!"
But Leviathan could never have imagined that such a simple order would cost it any hope of survival.
Just a split second slower than the other Hell Lords, and it was already caught up to. Sharp light flickered across the Seven Deadly Sins, carrying with it the aura of death.
"Divine ability — Decree: Death!!!"
However, Leylin did not launch any attack. He merely pointed a finger at Leviathan.
In that instant, Leviathan's entire consciousness ground to a halt.
Decree of Death — this was a power that could only be obtained after mastering the Laws of Slaughter and Death, with its potency determined by the caster's level.
Leylin was now an eighth rank Warlock, equivalent to a mid-tier deity with a divine rank of nine to seventeen, and at the very peak of that tier!
And Leviathan, even with the power of the Hell of the Abyss bolstering it, was at best a peak lesser deity, with a divine rank below eight!
Who was stronger and who was weaker was plain for all to see!
